Garden Grove, CA — OK International is unveiling the new Metcal Scorpion Rework System, designed to meet the challenges of array package rework, and the accurate placement of BGAs, in particular. This BGA placement called for a solution that allowed for simultaneous viewing of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) pads and component pads or balls. The company has responded with this modular rework system.

The Scorpion incorporates numerous features that ease the learning curve for new operators while providing the power and performance expected by more experienced users. The patent pending SmartPlace Technology vision system employs dual image overlay technology providing an image of the solder balls and PCB patterns without the need for complicated prism alignment. The system is totally self-contained and ready to use once it is plugged into a power outlet.
